ß 24hoz - summer 2001 ç
hosted by zzblue and theta14. june 22nd through june 23rd, seven PM est. that's like, 4:00 pst, according to theta. i dunno. you figure it out.

latest news: the contest, as you all know, is over. entries can be downloaded here. thanks to viovis for hosting that file. tripod crapped out when i tried to, which is why the site's been down.
judging is going smoothly, results will hopefully be up by the end of the week.

judges: we have our judges. they are...

topic: the topic is invention. please see dictonary.com's definition of invention before you begin. be creative, and good luck!

rules: well, if you don't know the general idea of the contest by now, do everybody a favor and don't sign up. you have 24 hours to create an original zzt game based on the topic announced here. entries will then be judged, and a winner will be announced. teams will be allowed. also, all material must be original and created within the 24-hour period, excluding premade stk toolkits. kevedit is not allowed. no extraneous utilities will be allowed, save, of course, STK, which isn't really a utility, but anyway.
do not lock your entries. this is done as a safety precaution, in the unlikely event that your programming needs to be examined for any reason. this will act as a plagiarism deterrent.

tiebreaker: in the unlikely event of a tie for first, the tiebreaker procedure will be as follows. each judge will be given an extra day to review the entries in question, and each will cast a vote for the supreme and ultimate winner.

submitting: after the 24-hour period, all entries must be sent to theta only. no extraneous material, such as .txt files, fonts, et cetera. only the .zzt file, with your name and ID number clearly displayed on the title screen. oh, and if you send in a junk/fake/off topic entry, i will eat you. ammendment: after the 24-hour period, contestants will be given a 1-hour grace period to submit their games. NO ENTRIES will be accepted after 25 hours.
